Tradition is nice and all — but sometimes it’s fun to do something a little different to spice up the holiday season. We’ve found some unique ways to take in all of the holiday cheer, like spending the night at a museum (sans kids) and searching for fun and unusual stocking stuffers at an offbeat flea market or running in the cold of winter in your best Santa hat.
